I meant to add — which books made first affected you as a kid/teenager. From my parents’ bookshelf:

The Other Side of Midnight
Helter Skelter

Harriet the Spy was our Bible. The Narnia books, then Lloyd Alexander, turning to Tolkien in junior high.
The Outsiders was everything in 5th grade.
The Diary of Anne Frank and then (ugh!) Go Ask Alice.
